Embodiment 1

[0052] In the prior art, a user clicks a virtual button on a virtual keyboard of a touch screen to input a corresponding character, and one virtual button corresponds to only one character. This embodiment provides a new improved mechanism, a virtual button corresponds to at least two characters, the user can continue to slide in different directions after clicking the virtual button, and the device determines the The character this gesture corresponds to. The specific sliding direction can be calculated according to the position coordinates of the starting point and the ending point of the gesture. Because one virtual key corresponds to at least two characters, the virtual keys on the virtual keyboard can be reduced by at least half in the embodiment of the present invention, so that the area and key interval of the virtual keys can be increased as much as possible on the limited display screen, so that This kind of virtual keyboard is easier to operate and reduces the situa...

Embodiment 2

[0083] Embodiment 1 is described by taking a touch screen as an example. The device in this embodiment may also use a touchpad to receive gestures input by the user for character input. Since there is no screen under the touchpad that can display virtual buttons, it is necessary to pre-plan the input areas included on the touchpad. Each input area can be marked explicitly with silk screen lines or light-emitting areas, and of course it can also be hidden. deal with.

[0084] In this embodiment, the device may also use a nine-way slide key, a nine-way press key, a rocker, a pressure bar, or a cursor pointing input device to receive gestures input by the user for character input. The structural diagram of the nine-way sliding key is as follows: Figure 9As shown, it includes a sliding area 70 and a sliding block 71 in the center of the sliding area 70 . The sliding block 71 can slide in the direction indicated by the arrow in the sliding area 70 , and the user can press the s...

Embodiment 3

[0103] The method for receiving user input on the device described in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0104] Step 81, detecting the spatial motion of the device to obtain the first spatial state information of the device;

[0105] Step 82: Determine the input area corresponding to the first space state information according to the predetermined correspondence between the space state information and the input area, and obtain the first input area.

[0106] Here, the spatial motion detected in step 81 above may be a horizontal tilting motion of the device, or a horizontal translation motion of the device.

[0107] For example, during a horizontal tilting movement, the above spatial state information is specifically the horizontal tilt angle information of the device, specifically including horizontal tilting to the left, horizontal tilting to the right, and no horizontal tilting. The horizontal inclination angle of the device can be detected by the gravity senso...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for receiving user input on equipment and equipment adopting the same. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a first gesture of user input; acquiring the starting point and the finishing point of the first gesture, calculating a first distance between the finishing point and the starting point, judging whether the first distance is smaller than the predetermined threshold, and outputting a judgment result; when the judgment result indicates that the first distance is smaller than the predetermined threshold, inputting a first character corresponding to a first input area according to the first input area where the starting point is; and when the judgment result indicates that the first distance is larger than the predetermined threshold, inputting a second character corresponding to the first input area and a first direction according to the first input area where the starting point is and the first direction of the first gesture. By adopting the method, the reliability of input operation can be improved, the input operation of a user can be facilitated, and input misoperations are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of data input processing, in particular to a method and device for receiving user input on a device. Background technique [0002] Currently, mobile computing devices, such as mobile phones, handheld computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs), have been widely used, and more and more devices have begun to provide touch screens and receive information input by users through the touch screens. Moreover, some devices provide a virtual keyboard through a touch screen, and the virtual keyboard is a keyboard that displays a reduced version on the touch screen. Then, the user can click the corresponding virtual key on the soft keyboard with a stylus or a finger, and the device detects the user's click operation on the soft keyboard, and then inputs corresponding characters. [0003] For example, smaller portable handheld devices (such as mobile phones, PDAs, etc.), in order to ensure their portability, often...
